I Journal To…
Do you ever think about the stories in your life? Imagine all the tales you are downloading from your camera or that kids are creating in their crayon drawings and laughter. Slowing down and embracing the simplicity in life has made me oh-so in love with the moments.
I never really noticed them enough when I was too busy racing to become this or that and obtain this possession or that image.
Last night, I wrote a new poem to insert with Gadanke journals as they are slipped into envelopes. The words just flowed after feeling so inspired by the day. I got a United States PO Box for my shipper. (Oh yippee!) And the whole way home from the farmer’s market, I smelled the sweet aroma of basil picked this morning. It’s the little moments, and the stories they hold mean so much.
What do you journal, blog, or tell your stories for? I promise: those stories are so worth celebrating!

I just spent the last 15 minutes looking through your blog. LOVE. I love to write, love to travel, love to journal. My husband and I just spent 10 days in Cambodia and would love to go back with our girlies (9, 8, and 4). Your travel journals would be SWEET to take with us. I subscribed to your blog! Woohoo!!
